More Updates!

Savannah has been off her oxygen for a week and a half now and she is doing just great without it. We are planning on returning all of her tanks and machines this week. It will be so exciting. We will have to have an oxygen free party.

Savannah went to her follow-up appointment with the NICU clinic. She is doing good overall, but she is going to start some physical therapy. She doesn't like to push up when laying on her stomach, she isn't quite sitting up yet, and the doctor says we should work on the muscle tone in her legs. There are many different reasons this all comes about. From laying in the NICU for so long, and because of her reflux she hasn't spent a lot of time on her stomach and she weighs quite a bit which can also be a disadvantage. She needs stronger arms to hold herself. :) I guess we can be glad she doesn't have an eating problem anymore.

Savannah has been eating more baby food. She doesn't like bananas but she does like sweet potatoes and prunes and her cereal quite a bit. I am going to try some peaches today and see how it goes.

She gets more and more interactive everyday. She loves to grab at everything and you really have to watch her at the table now. She has already put her hand in my dinner. She likes to be tossed up and down (assuming she hasn't just eaten) and play airplane with daddy. She babbles all the time and I am trying to get her to say da da. I think it might be a while.

She is trying to type with me right now so I had better end this post.
